java audio frequency filter

I'm developing a simple audio player in java. The only advanced feature I need is a frequency filter. It's not necessarily a full-featured equalizer function, with different gains for specific frequency ranges: a low pass filter which cuts frequencies higher than a specified value would be enough.

I studied jlGui which has an equalizer, but it only works with MP3 data, while the files I will be playing are OGG.

Browsing through various answers I found that an ffmpeg wrapper like Xuggler or Jave could be a solution. But I didn't find any tutorial, not even a starting point on how to handle frequency filtering with ffmpeg.

Also JMF is described as a valid choice for implementing such a function, but I found nothing specific enough.

I'm ending up using this solution (for windows applications) : Equalizer APO

It makes use of the Audio Processing Object technology available on Windows Vista and later. My application just needs to edit a configuration text file and the APO does the rest.

Obviously, it is platform dependent, and I must install an external application for my filter to work, but it is acceptable in my case, and it is very easy to implement.

I found an old project called JEQ
It is based on javax.sound and uses IIR to create a 10/15/25/31-band equalizer. It works on PCM data (not just MP3 like others) so I hope I can make it work with OGG. My only concerns are about output quality, which wasn't very good in some of my tests. I'll have to investigate

This is the JavaDoc for the JASS project by UBC Vancouver. It's free for non-commercial use. You should be able to implement most kinds of filters with it. Check the URL few levels up for actual source download.
